After all, while we’re used to the Left’s mindset — that every one of their ideas needs to be a law and tolerance only extends so far as it suits their ideology or biases — as I have demonstrated, there is a remarkable Gang Green that seizes upon all heretical thought or speech and seeks to teach its purveyor a painful lesson.

This is indeed a movement premised on fear — fear of debate, democracy, and science. Their biggest problem is that numbers don’t lie and the public are still allowed to look out the window. So, children: throw your sticks and stones, and take your taxpayer-funded billions to play with computer models to create the scariest future scenarios you can engineer — and the scenarios are engineered — and it still won’t change the fact that the sky is where it always was and there remains no observational evidence to suggest it’s falling.Life’s tough.

"CO2 for different people has different attractions. After all, what is it? - it’s not a pollutant, it’s a product of every living creature’s breathing, it’s the product of all plant respiration, it is essential for plant life and photosynthesis, it’s a product of all industrial burning, it’s a product of driving – I mean, if you ever wanted a leverage point to control everything from exhalation to driving, this would be a dream. So it has a kind of fundamental attractiveness to bureaucratic mentality." - Richard S. Lindzen, Ph.D. Professor of Atmospheric Science, MIT

Have to say, I read Erica's Lovely column and nearly fell off of my stool. I had to look 6 times to assure myself I was actually on Politico(AKA Barack Obama is God's More Benevolent Brother).com. Hilariously enough, I too immediately wrote a thank you/warning telling her that responsible,unbiased journalism like this was an unexpected joy, that would not be tolerated.

As such it comes as no surprise that the "usual gang of idiots" almost instantly swooped in to harass and harangue her for straying from the Big Media script.

I'm getting to the age where I can say I've been around a while, and have seen a lot of things. But this issue and the all-human circus that has popped up around it, sinks far below the lowest levels of dispicible that the whole of my human experience would have allowed me to believe possible.
